Train derailment closes Crain Avenue Bridge in Kent; no injuries reported as coal train jams under span

Bridge in Kent was closed Thursday afternoon after several cars of a 119-car long CSX Railroad coal train derailed under it, leaving tons of spilled coal and crumpled train cars jammed under the bridge.

See Friday's record-Courier for more coverage.

I love it when people come into a message board and immediately begin to mix it up.  I mean, Jesus, at least say hello!  Do you walk into a room full of strangers, pick a random woman, and tell her she's fat? - buildingcincinnati

This is from the Crain Avenue bridge -- I went over this bridge about 500 times in my life (mainly from 1985-89). The bridge was closed because the train struck and possibly damaged the bridge:

She knows her way around a camera pretty well! I love the second-to-last photo with the colorful berries against the snow and dull light.
